Gladstone Criminal Investigation Branch Detective Senior Sergeant Luke Peachey said the operation had uncovered a number of dangerous drug labs.

"The investigation, which has been ongoing for 12 months, we've so far located six clandestine laboratories and a large quantity of dangerous drugs," he said.

As well as the location and seizure of drugs and equipment, Detective Senior Sergeant Peachey said detectives had also uncovered ties to at least two outlaw motorcycle gangs.

"Throughout our investigations, which focused on the use of telephone intercepts, as well as covert and overt methods, we've now investigated links betweens the Black Uhlans chapters and the Bandidos chapters," he said.

While Monday saw the end of the successful operation, Detective Senior Sergeant Peachey said he believed the arrests would continue over the coming days and weeks in relation to the operation.

Regional crime co-ordinator for the Central Region, Detective Acting Superintendent Darrin Shadlaw said the operation had required a number of police units in various regions working in tandem to successfully carry it out.

Detective Senior Sergeant Peachey said Gladstone police would remain proactive in tracking down those people making a living in trafficking dangerous drugs.

Search warrants were also executed in Agnes Water, Hervey Bay and Mackay, as the 12-month operation wrapped up.

Regional crime co-ordinator for the Central Region, Detective Acting Superintendent Darrin Shadlaw, said the successful operation had been the result of cohesion between various departments.

"The operation itself has utilised the services of the state crime command in Brisbane, the state drug investigation unit, as well as Gladstone and Rockhampton detectives, and warrants have also been executed in Mackay and Hervey Bay this morning (Monday), and we believe it will put a large dent in the drug industry in the Gladstone area," Detective Acting Superintendent Shadlaw said.
